Inaugural Meeting of the BSA Animal/Human Studies Group (AHSG) University of Nottingham 26 September 2006

This meeting officially launched the Group. Moreover, it presented a forum for discussion and networking for researchers working on animal/human issues. There is sometimes a feeling of isolation amongst researchers in this area, but the membership of the Group (35 as of 20 November 2006) demonstrates that a significant body of researchers are working in this field, albeit widely dispersed. The key purpose of the meeting and workshop was to open up and explore the potential and functioning of the Group, and how the Group might develop and consolidate animal/human issues and related research within the social sciences.
